PCs Youngest Art
Students—Under 10
BY ADELAIDE GANTT
About 25 of Presbyterian Col
lege’s newest students are less
than 10 years old.
They are pupils of 11 enrolled
students at PC. Both the regu
lar students and their students
are taking a new art course, “Art
Education for the Elementary
School Child.’ A prerequisite for
a degree in elementary education,
the sourse consists of making
lesson plans in art and then prac
ticing them, aided by children of
the faculty and of other com
munity residents.
Mrs. Mary Anne Walker, in
structor in art, teaches the
course.
“Actually, I’m just supervising
now,’ she said. “We discussed
lesson plans during the first
half of the semester, and my
students took over when the child
ren came.*
“We’ve divided the children in
to three age groups -- four to
five years, six to seven years,
and eight, nine and 10 years. Each
student will eventually teach each
group.’
The class meets two afternoons
weekly. Each of the three groups
has a teacher for the afternoon
plus several helpers, who are
also members of the art educa
tion class.
“We have to supply more help
ers than originally planned,’
Mrs. Walker said. “We’ve found
that children, especially the
youngest ones, not only require
motivation but also someone
nearby to show frequent ap
proval.’
She added that they do not cri
ticize the children’s works. Sev
eral are very serious about each
thing they do, laboriously fin
ishing all details. Others seem
to take out their frustrations on
the projects, especially when
given a brush and a few pots of
paint.
“Painting with brushes is a
new experience for many of these
children, even the older ones be
cause there are no art classes
in their schools.*
Some lessons planned earlier
in the semester have been dis
carded because Mrs. Walker’s
students have found that child
ren prefer drawing in colors to
black and white. Clay sculpture
has also proved unpopular.
“These children need a ma
terial more like mud,’ Mrs.
Walker said. “Sculpting clay is
too hard.’
PURE ART
Explaining that her 11 students
have not many arts-
and-crafts projects, she said,
“We’re trying to stick to pure
art -- drawing, painting and scul-
ture --’because children get e-
nough crafts in scouts and acti
vities.’
The four and five year old
are at the “scribble’stage, while
those aged six to seven are al
ways drawing trees and houses,
Mrs. Walker said. The oldest
group is involved with the tech
nical aspects of what they’re
creating. Everything must be
right.
Although elementary education
majors at PC are required to
take the new course, more than
half of the first class is study
ing other subjects. Two are ma
joring in sociology, three in psy
chology, two in Christian educa
tion and one in English.
Ellen Stewart of Wolverine,
N.Y., sociology, believes she will
work with culturally deprived
children and the art education
course will help.
The two psychology majors,
Mrs. Gail Pressau and Martha
Ann Dubose, both of Clinton, need
to study art education in order
to obtain certification to teach
special classes.
